You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iowoc, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watching tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is this still the land of the free and home The drums the drums I hear the drums yes good afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report amark kirky one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines and occupied territories west south east and the northeast well ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on Liberty Tree Radio, F4MG.com. We're also on Indiana Freedom Talk Radio.com. We're on AM&FM Microstations, CBB Bait Stations, and Ultra Net Technologies East and West of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the Hallmark Network on Eastern Seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida, from the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico. Headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska. whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the pit, the third and the fifth, along with our friends, the seven sisters on the left side of the state. Colorado, where we have recall, recall, recall, remember total recall guys? Recall, recall, yeah, don't go to them to mess with your head, man. I don't want that, he was brain dead. Well, the Demikin's last Satan worshippers are brain dead in Colorado, so people are going to be taking care of that problem real quick. Remember guys, more than just the petition for the one senator, go after others, create pickle smoke, mirrors, confusion, make them all fear. Real simple, put a petition out for all of them to be recalled and make sure every so many people are carrying different clipboards. They're going to have to all carry the same clipboards. have the one for the primary target have another one with another character's name on it and just have it out there in force of their signing one have them sign a second one come on be smart that way the bad guys get crossed intelligence and messages that don't make sense what do you mean they're after me well what the hell with those guys I don't know any of them they're trying to recall me too oh yeah you see that's the kind of coverage you're dealing with on the other side when they can send bullies out to beat you up that's one thing When somebody zeroes in on them and reverses it, they pee their drawers, they devocate in them, and then they see a snail trail where they're running through the brush, trying to wipe their hind end off of the gravel as they slither underneath the small branches. Yeah, we've seen this before. Anyway, California, where the diaper stain of brownism along with Feinsteinism bring you the California Soviet Socialist Democracy, the CSSD, a beachhead for communist Chinese foreclosure operations, an America with a K, and as we know, Yeah, the California caterers are going to be expediting that. So back to the east, we sweep across the plains over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi and land in the Smokies slash the Blue Ridge where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, and the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium over retired telecommunications workers. Bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for late work a million petticoat junctions. The ability to continue to function on everything else is offline. Well, it is rainy. I mean it has been rainy. Did I say it was rainy? Yes, it has been raining and then it slowed down. Wasn't it rain? It rained a lot and hasn't slowed down. And finally it slowed down a little bit. Now it's raining again and Oh man, we're getting a lot of moisture. But, not a surprise, it's been that kind of a year. It's a typical fall day here in Michigan, and it is truly fall. What's funny is the plants that I was able to get secured with the little mini greenhouses are looking great. The ones that were outside the mini greenhouse were not so good, but they're all ready for replanting, so we're going to do that right away. We've got the lasagna potatoes going in as soon as we get the rain stop here. We've also got our volunteer tomato boxes going in this year. We're going to be controlling the volunteers even more. I mean, as it is, they randomly are going to come up in the garden. We've got a small cherry tomato that is just absolutely a lion, an aggressive. highly reliable lion. I want to make sure that comes back in force and we will. So again, a lot of cool stuff going on there for everybody. We will let you know about that. The little mini greenhouses I've been making, I have been using the windows that people have been discarding. I only need one, but if I can get two, three, or four of the same size, oh better still, I can have all sides with glass. But typically you don't really need the north side with glass. And in fact, only one surface if you have longer windows like door windows, example. The one window I picked up for the pepper plants was something that somebody else had tossed out. I had to make a frame for the frame that's fairly lightweight, but only about 18 inches tall, but about 4 feet long. This slide in was basically for a narrow window on a front door. This particular piece of glass is perfect because it creates a long, short, greenhouse to cover the hot pepper plants. I condensed the plants by moving them a little bit, put a removable roof on this thing, and it is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. It's really cool. Again, you can see the difference. I was going to do this for the other plants. Only so much can get done in a day. I didn't get the others finished. But the plants that were stuffed into the area, the space available for the one little greenhouse, are looking really great. And they're mass producers. I mean, they've got probably close to 100 pieces of fruit on the one pepper plant alone. And I know that we'll have plenty more. And of course, they're only going to last so long with temperatures eventually going to drop. Right now, it's warmed up outside. And it's been getting a little warmer the last two days. We get this kind of weather. It hits a cold front and we get what we're having right now, which is intermittent electrical storms and winds on the lakes and choppy seas on the lakes and it's not happy camper time for the big ships or little boats. Nobody goes out in this stuff. and the big boats that have to are very cautious. It's this season where the Edmund Fitzgerald went down and that's the one everybody knows but I will point out go look at a map of shipwrecks in the Great Lakes. Yeah, the Edmund Fitzgerald is just one of thousands, thousands that have sunk across the Great Lakes and most of them in places where They're deep enough, nobody goes to see them. We've got some really deep, great lakes here. Shipwrecks when they get down there act accordingly. The cool thing is it's fresh water. They don't really do anything. In fresh water, organic and metals last a lot longer without any kind of growth. There are certain things that will be consumed in the long run, especially flesh type like leathers and things like that. As far as bull and obviously glasses and affected You're looking at wrecks that can be down there for a two and three There's as a matter of fact even in our shallow lakes. We've got several examples of war of 1812 now again. Remember this is year 2013 that's 200 years ago and Those wrecks having said at the bottom of the shallow lake still look pretty much like they did when they slipped below the waves in the deep water even more so. Cold, dark, wet refrigerator. Just something to think about there. There's some interesting stuff around the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald is not the only one that was consumed by the waves. It won't be the last either. It's just a matter of not a matter of just a matter of when. Sometimes it makes the news, other times they don't really much talk about it anyway. In fact, amazing for the state of Michigan being a lake state, they intentionally try to avoid giving you any state news on what happens on the lakes. That's not an accident at all as part of this whole communist slash international socialist thing. Everybody else hears about stuff in many cases first before the people in the state hear about it here for that very reason. Anyway, storms, weather rolling around, 31st of... well, it doesn't seem like it is, but it is, guys. It is the 31st of October and it is the fifth year of Open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with K2013. Old Earth Calendar or Mayan? Crazy Town, Crazy Town Calendar. So, watch the drive when you're heading home. Now another thing here with regard to the gardening, which doesn't have to end, I will remind everybody if you've got root vegetables, you still have plenty of time to take those in. They're not going to be harmed by the weather. And in fact, if you really were pressed and you put a lot of carrots or something into the ground and you still have a big carrot patch this year, how about you go buy some straw and cover up the carrots in the ground? What? Yeah, and when the snow flies the straw will completely cover the carrots and insulate them. You know, it's neat. You can come out with a broom, sweep off the snow, scratch through the straw, and pull carrots all winter. And they'll be perfectly serviceable to eat. Something to think about there. It's not a hard process to figure out. The cool thing is that you get a lot of food stuffs where you don't have to press the rest of your storage. Now, like right now, I've just filled up the food dryers with apples again. In fact, I've still got a couple of bushels more to go. About time I finished one batch up, we got more apples. I also have about 50 pounds of carrots. Now, these carrots were, again, they're washed and ready to go. They're in the big plastic bag. Those will be chopped up and turned into coins. And those are going to be dried. And then, of course, stored with the rest of our dried foods. So those don't require any special processing if done right. And it's going to be very simple to, again, get them canned up in simple airtight containers, whatever I've got the most of. And it's another food stuff that's put away. Anything you pretty well have out there can be dried. Just don't be surprised at how some things end up. Celery turns out to be really tiny. Why? Well, it's a lot of moisture, guys. You get rid of the moisture. There's not a whole lot left there to worry about. We don't dry lettuce. That is one of those you don't do. You don't dry lettuce. It just doesn't do anything for you. And when you rehydrate it's like, ewwww! I put water in it, it looks terrible. It's like snot. Did you put the lettuce? Yeah, I told you we don't do lettuce. No, you don't do any lettuce. Don't do lettuces. That really doesn't work very well. You can do spinach. That's just going to dry up like a leaf, like any other leaf. Of course, it's not exactly this most stable foodstuff anyway. Spinches are not bad out. Good foodstuff. It does not hold up in different ways other than freezing that really makes sense. I know guys have canned it, but again, canned spinach is normal. Popeye used to eat it all the time. He saw the cartoons. But other than freezing most common because of the way people like to serve it, Everything else though, as long as it is, again, berries, anything with sugar, all of those items can be definitely dried and even wild grapes. However, I was going to bring it up today too. Last year we had the drought that everybody said was the end of the world. We were all going to die. We weren't going to make it. We were all going to feel that was going to be the end of it and we're all still here. Of course, that's the Mayan calendar thing where they're trying to plug that in. But last year we had a massive reserve of record wild grapes. Despite the dry, wet weather, the way the combination went, it was perfect for the wild grapes here. And in fact, they were the biggest I've ever seen. They were actually the size almost of my thumbnail in some of them. And they were incredibly juicy, incredibly ripe. Of course, they're also a real deep purple and they stain. They're wild grape, guys. But the interesting thing is this year, plenty of moisture, good balance of weather by comparison, and minimal wild grape production. I just did a survey of the plants. We're going to get some wild grapes for doing some jelly, but not even near anything like we got last year. So there's an interesting point. Corn, mass production. I just looked at the fields and looked at some of the years on the corn fields north and south. Walk through the field a little bit just to check things out. It didn't have to go too deep, but it's all producing the same way. Everything in the corn category is at maximum production. All of our grain went exceptionally well. The beans just are going through the roof right now, guys. Beans are pretty well in, but there's still another wave of them to come in. As soon as we get this moisture stopped and then get out in the field, the tractors are going to be finishing up what little bean production is left out there to rake in. And they're looking at a really high production on beans this year. So corn, beans look good. We did really well with the apples. We had a record apple crop for the state of Michigan for its history, which is really cool. So there's a lot of apples out there. You make cider, applesauce. I got a big pot of applesauce on the wood burning stove that we made up from the odd man out. The other apples are either going into making apple cobbler. Again, dried apples or doing applesauce or canning apples for use later in the season. Anything in any way we can. I just keep cranking them out. As long as we can get them and it's free. In fact, what I'll do is I'll sit down and I'm slicing and peeling and paring. I don't peel very much. We try actually to leave the peels on. The apples that we've been getting have been the earlier non-hybrid breeds. that were traditional Michigan breeds. One of them is a banana apple. Oh my goodness, the problem is you just can't help but nibble on them while you're working on them, guys. But as far as a food production item goes, also a great storage item is a dried food item. And you're going to issue or ration that out. You can use it also through the season in a number of different ways. You can rehydrate these things and make apple, apple crisp, apple cobbler again. or you can also use them just as a munching food or as a field food, a field support food slash a snack food. The other thing is if you've got oatmeal, we've talked about the idea, man I'm going to go out and spend $300 when the feces hits the oscillating device and I'm going to buy $300 worth of oatmeal. Well, plain old oatmeal you can live on, but if you can have something to change it up, it's kind of nice. And all the dried fruits that you can put away, guys, well, you put about eight or nine slices of the apple in with that rolled oats. You've totally changed up the meal. You're going to have to be careful on consumption. So again, you don't just take a handful. You go six, seven, eight pieces. These are big apples to begin with. They put that in the oatmeal when you rehydrate it and everything. Oh yeah, it's going to come back. and it's got flavor. Touch a little cinnamon in there, throw a little bit of sugar in there, just a touch, not very much. And let the natural apple sugars and flavoring do the rest. Now you've got a changed up meal. Same is true with berries and with pears and with apricots and peaches. I've done a combination of apricots and peaches. Also, I've got a couple of combo mixes that are apples, peaches, pears. apricots, dried apple, all the stuff we did here in the house and we did some grapes. So it's kind of a neat fruit mix. Again, pretty tasty. All of it in higher quality foods than normally would be. You know, stuff that you'd find in the dried fruits category. And I'm using different apples so you get different flavors too, which is kind of cool. The other thing is, experiment with some of the other stuff that we've been talking about. In fact, I've still got the crabapple trees. They are a lush, beautiful red right now. They are a luminescent red. It's time to pick them. But the crabapples are going to go into a jelly here shortly. So that's one of the other projects. Don't say there isn't food out there. There's food out there. The biggest thing is figuring out how to get it best into a storage system that you can afford if you're short on funds. drying food is still one of the cheapest, easiest, quickest ways. So food dryers are definitely a priority. If you don't know how to make one, there's a million of them on YouTube and there's all kinds of designs out there that are really cool made from all kinds of junk. From off-the-shelf stuff that you can get for free or almost free, guys. You always pay a dollar or two and you get everything you need to put the thing together. So it's not like it's a complicated process and it's not like everybody else hasn't figured out for it. You don't have to invent the wheel. You just get to figure out a job better than the enemy guys. Anyway, we're headed towards the bottom hour here in another few minutes. I would ask again, it is the end of the month if you could. We do have the monthly bills to take care of. If you can take the time to donate, go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. That's www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. www.4mg.com It's just a matter of getting sleeves. I hate just sending them out guys, so we make sure we've got containers. And I try to do the large DVD boxes if we can. Those are actually the best. They offer better protection. Plus, it's harder to lose those. I know everybody likes to condense everything, but it makes it a lot easier to lose stuff. If you have a container or the CD type containers that are the jewel type, The cool thing is they offer protection. Yeah, they break. They might break, but typically they do a good job of protecting the CD, which is why they were designed the way they were designed. So if somebody else is throwing those out, grab them. If you need to redo the label, remember, take the existing label that has whatever author in it from whatever somebody threw the CD. If usually people take the CD and throw out the cases now. Well, that's great. Turn the label inside out and you've got a white surface to write on and you can write down whatever it is you're putting in the box. Or just cut a new piece of paper for it. Come on, make it easy for yourself. But again, our library is full of CD, VHS. I just got another 8-track player today, a stand-alone, actually one that was quite expensive back in the day. But it's an 8-track wooden hull, really kind of neat. If you see any kind of electronic equipment with a wooden hull, that was typically one of those independent radio geeks from the 60s and 70s where they started producing technology. You would recognize most of the names, if you could find them, on the machine. But if you can ID them, you'll realize if you know electronics that these are the people who were the big sound boys down the road. They started up making equipment themselves and doing small production lines in the garages. and from there they made whole businesses out of what they did in that garage. Well the wooden side slab cabinets and boxes that radio cassette and 8K track and some cases even reel-to-reel. We're going to go to break. We'll be right back in a bit here guys. But those side slab wood are unique and collectible. that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence. It was 1776 when the Founders signed the writ of independence from the Brits. It was revolution. Now an enemy from within wouldn't slave us all again and deprive us of our rights in the Constitution. Restore the Republic! Wake up, it's time to understand The store will be public We're losing our freedom in the land It's controlling everything From the daily news we read to the politicians And they're pulling up financial strains More powerful than kings It's essential bank elites Bringing our destruction Restore the Republic Wake up, it's time to make a stand Restore the Republic Lead all the people that we can Restore the Republic We're derelictions to the flag of the Republic Gotta take the freedom back America, oh, open up our eyes Freedom If we live the other way They'll take our rights away So we the people must defeat on me Money tail we choke Shoving taxes down our throats Bailing out banks we don't even hold It's a ruination They're invading our privacy With high technology Microchip in our ID It's a combination Restore the Republic Wake up it's time to make a stand Restore the Republic This is the Intel report live. Quick reminder too guys, if you're going to be doing a micro FM or a micro AM station or even just a CB station, start collecting music. This is especially critical because you'll be taking over down the road. Consider if Well, let's look at some of the headlines right now that you guys are all seeing in the Patriot movement. You notice we don't talk about it as much, only in that everybody else is really hammering it. But the health care thing, of course, is going to frag the money system from one direction. That's not an accident. That's very much intentional. That's what the communists do. But let's talk about everybody discussing the blackout idea. Okay, power outage down. Guys, there's still going to be power out there and people are going to have alternate power radio etc because they've already been buying it. People have bought these little crank radios, solar radios or whatever. Well, government's not going to have anything out there. Neither of these companies that have the radio stations, they don't have the power to run anything. However, Your micro FM station can run off 12 volt across the board produce what energy is necessary and get a signal out that can transmit for anywhere from 10 to 20 to 30 miles depending upon how big your exciter is, what kind of amplifier you have set up guys, it's called an exciter. with FM. You can stack those. You can go from a 1 watt that does 10 watts to a 10 watt that pushes a 40 watt, and a 40 watt that pushes a 100 watt. By the time you're done, you just keep re-energizing the signal, and you'll continue to actively stack more energy. Now this puts the signal out stronger, but it isn't just double it or triple it. It's not how it works. It actually increases the range. More what it does is it gets through structure and sites. In other words, if you've got concrete or metal, FM goes out so far and drops off very quickly. That's why the military liked it. FM with the military, the advantage is if you've got a whole bunch of troops, I don't need for Fred over in Wayne County to hear what Mark is doing in Washtenaw County if I was a combat operational unit. I want to be able to use the same frequencies over and over and over again and be able to issue out the same equipment. So when a unit comes from Wayne County over here to Washtenaw County, we can talk to each other when we need to. Otherwise, I don't need to, especially if we're outside of our area of control and area of operation in general, we simply wouldn't be able to integrate anyway. Somebody else does need to hear what I'm talking about, half a state away. So the advantage of FM is it goes out and it drops. And even when you add power, you don't just quantify it, say, double the power, double the range. That's not necessarily true, but what you do get is better propagation and permeation in the target area for your market, you know, for the people you're trying to reach. Example is it's going to get through concrete walls, it's going to get through steel buildings better, it's going to go through structures. You're going to actually get the message out where people can receive it. It will increase in range. When you increase power, you are going to expand your audience. But that may or may not be a good thing depending upon, again, what kind of stress are you putting your components under, how sophisticated is the micro FM station you have in place. Remember that the candle burns brightest, burns shortest. And that's why even regular FM stations that you know, we're a 100,000 watt station, they typically do not run at 100,000 watts. It is a 100,000 watt station. The transceiver is rated for 100,000 watts and they might be running 80 or they might be running 60. If their primary tubes are tired on a big station, they can knock all the way down to $20,000 easily. And still, you get a pretty good signal out, you won't know the difference. You're going to wonder why, well, where I used to get it out there, you know, at Schmidlap Road, I'm not getting them in like I used to. Maybe it's my radio, my car is getting old. No, it's not typically that. It's the fact that the radio station itself doesn't have the money to and the wherewithal to change out particular equipment. The other thing is, one, they decided to wait to change out tubes because they should have been replaced on a regular basis, including the primary, which is a big butt tube. Actually, some of those tubes are 3 feet, 2 and 1 half feet tall, and about 6 inches in diameter, guys. Seriously, that's the primary driver tube. Anyway, when those start to go bad, you're talking $8,000, $10,000 for a tube. That's a big cost for a company that is running on air time. So what happens is they keep putting it off and what they have to do is start dialing down. If the station is lucky, they have two transmitters. And the idea behind this is that you were supposed to go from one transmitter to the next, idle one down, bring the other one up, kind of like having two nuclear reactors. And that way you can put less stress on a system. You can actually let it rest. Well, the thing is, in most places, what they did is they just ran the primary into the ground. They didn't take the other transceiver and put it even up and online. So in a way, it's good because, well, when they do hit the switch on the other one, you've got a fresh unit on standby. But there's even more wear and tear with constant use than if they were to alternate back and forth between the transceiver. You'll forgive me the transmitters in this case. We looked at several stations when we were looking at moving Republic Radio International and one of them was a beautiful operation. It had a brand new primary building tower that was massive. It was an industrial tower. It had a support building. The primary building had three studios that had been built. It had two primary transmitters for the FM station. One, the tube was tired, the other more virtually new. So even buying the station, you wouldn't have been buying something that was re-immediately and totally run down. The problem is that the general manager was stealing everything. We talked to the girls who were running the place and she was so upset because the general manager had been pilfering everything out the back door and the station was, you know, again on its last legs. Now he was eventually able to get back online because the character, obviously when they sold the station, the general manager ceased to be part of the station. He was part of the deal when it came to selling it. He wanted to get his money and run. In addition to the money he had already taken out of the business. So, stations are a really unique and strange bird, but the big stations are not going to be running. They don't have, even if they have generators, okay, consider this. They're trying to push a big watt station, mostly for booming power. Problem is that booming power means the same amount of energy as needed every day. Do you see more diesel trucks delivering diesel to that FM station? Not very likely. On the other hand, the micro FM stations guys can reach a pretty good audience, they can put out a good signal, and each of them can be fully freestanding and independent. Just a matter of how creative you are with solar panels, wind power, and car batteries, or for that matter, deep cell, high low batteries in the 12 volt configuration. There's a lot of those out there. Now you can buy brand new or you can get stuff that's hand-me-downs. I got a set of hand-me-downs outside the door here and those are having a new frame made for them. I'm doing that right now. And when I'm done, those will be the second battery pack standby for the station. With the way things are going, we need it. Everybody, you're all in the same boat, but here's the cool thing. between the emergency radios and other people improvising with small little FM radios that they have or even with their car radios. Guys, the only radio that's going to be out there is our micro-FM's. So whatever people hear is going to be a matter of what we put out. Now, we don't just want to be flapping and yapping. We want to make sure that we put some ear candy into play. And this gets back to the subject of who we're just talking about, which is build your own library. If you remember looking at the video footage of the studio when we were doing, we had some camera feed of what we were doing in the studio. You'll notice, take a look at the pictures guys, what's behind me. Oh, lots and lots and lots of cassette drawers, lots and lots of DVD boxes. In racks, well yeah. In fact, this is how a radio station used to be. Now, the reason that we aren't going to do everything off computer is because that's more power burned, perhaps in another direction we don't really want to see happen. So we need to be creative with regard to how and what we use for creating noise. Now, we can run and make noise even off a little cassette handheld Walkman with an umbilical. We can run that off of solar power in a number of different ways. Everything we have that's small can be integrated into the board and the power can be prioritized to the board and the transmitter. It's purely a matter of you being creative. Remember, a lot of what you have out there is already running on 12-volt. It has a wall-ward adapter. Look at the power requirement. Oh, it's a 12-volt system. Or 11.5, or 13.5, OK? it can run with less or it can run a little hot. I don't want to run it a lot hot, remember again, but a 12-volt system. However, with a little bit of modification and little patience, everything if it has unique input in terms of power requirement, we can make it. we can make our system work with that and provide the proper energy needed for that system to work within its optimal performance range. Just another thing we want to remind everybody of, it's not that hard to do but you have to be thinking in advance. Now as far as the music goes, what should I collect Mark? Well obviously, Patriot music could be really cool. But you figure it out. We're very eclectic here. In fact, if I see music and unless it's something really off the wall and bizarre that just doesn't seem like music, and I mean there's stuff that is like that out there. It's like, nah, I'm not even going to bother with that. I might use that for a target or a reflector if it's a goofy CD. Pretty much 99.999% of what I pick up is kept either it's kept for the radio station or it's kept for electronic countermeasures for jamming. That stuff that sounds like Yoko Ono between Yoko Ono and a cat being swung over your head, which I guess is what Yoko Ono sounds like most of the time anyway. That stuff is great for background clutter noise if you're trying to jam somebody. Just think about there. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, who So anyway, again, bagpipe music, by the way, is really cool for that too. It's amazing if you do it right, modulate everything, work your rheostat a little bit, go up and down the dial. Bagpipe music is very annoying when it's applied properly. Sometimes for some people it's annoying all the time. Otherwise, consider this. What is your, you know, what's the population trying to do? You're trying to keep them informed. You want to give them something to keep them busy. They're used to the idea of some kind of ear candy or noise or background. Well, everybody has an AM-FM radio in their car. Everybody has stuff out there, but they also want to hear and they have CD and they have digital technology all over the place now. But what they're going to be interested in is hearing that somebody's out there alive. That something is actually working the way they're somewhat used to hearing it work. That's where your micro FM station can be a very dynamic tool. This is why I highly recommend that you put up a micro FM and a micro AM station and nothing else put it on standby, guys. Remember, that if you want to set up an emergency warning system your micro-AM and micro-FM stations can't really be blocked initially. If you already know that you have the equivalent to a civil defense frequency locally for your own troops, when the time comes, you've got to automatically go to 95 whatever, and that could be 95.5, 91.5, 99.7, whatever it is, up and down the dial, could be at the very top of the dial, very bottom of dial, or anywhere in between, wherever you got a space. But if you hear, wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa You know you have a piece of music silent running whatever pick up pick a song that in fact it's better to pick a song that is totally a name In other words, it's something that everybody would know but if you hear it played you won't even hear it played in normal radios Just not going to be played you pick something everybody knows this is the emergency warning song and what you do is you let it run and and repeat and run and repeat and run and repeat and run and repeat. Everybody realizes that's like an air raid siren going off only instead of, oh, it's, you know, again, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. Calliope music, whatever, okay? But it's something that's like, if you hear that, you know, yep, there's only one place that could be coming from. It's like any other code. You're the only people that know what song is going to be played. If the station emergency frequency is played and simply a song, in fact here's the basic rule, a song is on repeat. Whatever the song is, it's in a name song. It's not the most popular song out there. It's not something that's like in the top 50 or anything like that for the present pop music or whatever. No. It's just something that's chosen. It is repeated, short, ideally a minute and a half long, and it repeats. That by itself is a flag warning. See how that works, guys? You don't even have to know what the song is if the music repeats over and over and over and over again. That identifies that you are in the midst of an emergency and it would be a real good idea to switch over to your battle frequencies, pick up your, again move to your rally points, pick up your personnel, evacuate as needed, whatever it is, it's already SOP for wherever you are. So the micro FM stations and the micro AM stations are priceless in that respect. Now the AM is going to bounce more and at night has even greater range. You don't need a whole lot of power to go a long ways with an AM station. That's something I'll warn you about. This is why, while AM really is a great way to go if you were again in a disaster situation, remember that in the clutter of the present day, AM because of its bounce can hit areas where there's already activity on a frequency. We don't want to create conflict. That's one thing I've heard people say, well, no, no, we're going to create conflict. There's plenty of room on the dial. More radio stations are dying every day. With every radio station that goes out, there's more space across the spectrum, guys. So you have the opportunity to, again, fill the void. You've got more places to operate. Do a frequency survey of the area where you are located. What I mean by that is go out to an intersection, take a map, pick an intersection that's at the center of your activity wherever you are. Start there and go up and down the dial. Look to see if there are any dead spaces in your digital readout. Remember that you go up to 91.5, 91.7, 91.9. 80.3, you know, etc., etc. You're going up and down the dial wherever you're going to go. You go from one end to the other, you know, activity. Now, you get down the road, first you take points of the compass, go north for half a mile, stop, do a quick spectrum test again. Is the reception pretty much the same? Yes. Are there any changes? Is there a station popping up that did not pop up before? No. you go another half mile or even a full mile distance, stop again. Now you have to repeat this from the epicenter north, south, east and west. And the reason for this is to map out what presently is active. Are there holes? Is there space in the frequency or the bandwidth available? Is there space for you to set up a micro FM? You'll find one, you'll find several, and you'll be amazed. You might find more than you really thought were there. The big thing is, again, do the survey so you're on a basic frequency hole that you can use any time. Now, if things activate, what's going to happen is stations will randomly go black depending upon whether or not A, the people decide to keep the station online and continue to run diesel. or if they think the diesel would work better in their SUVs so they load it up and leave the station blacked out. Oh yeah, I didn't think about that did ya? All these people got these diesel SUVs and they figured those were their disaster vehicles and the radio station. Well, they don't care about the public and what does the public care about them? So the big boys would be shutting off their systems. and leeching all the diesel they could, carrying away the useful stuff and leaving the station blacked out. Government may come in and manipulate it, maybe, maybe not. So I'm not really worried about gooberment coming in and doing anything to the big stations right away. In fact, chances are you'd be able to access some material within a very short period of time there depending on how long they sit empty and idle. If they are locked up, it is going to be very common to have things just abandoned. The big thing is not leave them abandoned, but rather do what you can to preserve as much as you can as quickly as you can. We are trying to preserve civilization. Yes, I know there are a lot of parasites out there that will just let it fall apart. That is not our job. We are the builders, but we are not building for our enemy. We are building for our own purposes. Another thing about having different systems, make sure that as far as music types, CD, cassette, VHS even works really well. A lot of you guys, if you don't want to have to tend your station, but you don't want to go real high tech, I just had a really nice VHS machine in my hands at the resale store. It cost a dollar. It's a grandma machine. It's pristine. It's one of the first generation VHS machines. This thing runs like a top. It is a beautiful piece of equipment. And it is designed so that you can vary out the speed to extended, slow play, extended, high storage. So you're looking at 8 and 1 by 2 hours for each tape. Actually, one of them was looking ahead of variable re-estat, but it was not working. So you could actually store more on the tape. Now one thing about VHS is it's very high quality audio. Very high quality audio. So even when you slow it down there's no significant distortion issues. So you can store more on it. Now the advantage of this is you can put 8 hours, 9 hours, 10 hours of radio broadcast time on a VHS machine plug that in to make noise and you've got yourself a radio station you can walk away from. Oh yeah! As a matter of fact, if you listen to Republic Radio International, when you listen to our rebroadcast at night and in the wee hours of the morning guys, you were hearing the programming on VHS tape. It was not a digital replay, electronic digital replay from a computer, it was VHS tape. All programming during the day was copied on VHS and then we turn around and of course at the end of the regular broadcast time, tape number one would replay part of the day's broadcast. Typically there are two tapes for the broadcast hours involved because you have at least 16 hours of live broadcasting in a radio station at least. In some cases it's 24 or pretty close but even there you need to have archives and VHS because especially nobody wants it now. It's one of those things where it's a cutting edge technology and it's very well built. You can buy machines now for $5.00. It used to cost $600, $700 a piece. They were bought by grandpas or by people with money and they got inherited by somebody else who doesn't know what they're looking at and the rest is history. Okay, Mark, so there's some pretty cool stuff out there. We got George. What do you got George? Go ahead. Well, don't even turn down a Betamax machine if you see one. Betamax actually is superior to VHS, but the problem is again if you're you know you grab the Betamax because it's like right now I just picked up a box of Betatapes that were brand new circa you know back in the 80s. and they're virtually pristine. The beta machines are farther between than they used to, but you can run into them. If you do see one, pick it up and go through it. Typically they work. If they need repair, there's only one or two items that typically are not broken so much as what happens is they got bounced or something and typically a component locks into place or disengages from the drive gear that goes out of sync. If you open up the hood and look, you'll usually see that it's very obvious. Typically it's because of the handling. When somebody disconnected it from the TV, Grandpa had it stored away carefully. Fred decides he wants to clear out the closet. He grabs the beta machine and just tosses it in a box. It's not supposed to be bounced around like a football, but it gets bounced around and that's typically where the problem takes place. The piece of equipment typically was probably in excellent condition before it was manhandled. But the beta systems will work just fine. The biggest thing is, again, the machines are harder to find now, the tapes are harder to find. I've got a collection of actually almost every late 70s and 80s television series that was out. One of our locals here used a beta machine. I bought him back when they first came out and he recorded all the Colombo videos, Colombo from NBC Mystery Movie. All those different series he recorded to include the ads. It's not so much even the program, it's the ads that everybody is just fascinated by because I remember that. It's just kind of interesting. It shows you how advertising affects people. Yeah, beta's okay. There's actually another thing. There's all kinds of different drives too that can be used for sound storage including oddball zip drives that are out there still. And again, the cool thing is you get them for free. I got a brand new zip drive in the box. Ed's got a whole pile of zip drives here. You take two or three of those zip drives, you can also use those for code transfer. If you have a machine that runs on something that nobody else does, how does the other side take the data off it? If they don't have a machine and the machine hasn't been in service for 10, 15 years or 17 years, you see one of those ports on one of the enemy's computers? No. So that buys time for your couriers. If a courier is transferring information, you can use that beta tape to transfer data. Who has a beta drive out there to play it? They will find one, but by the time they do, the de-information is irrelevant. If you know the courier is compromised, you know you can get rid of the process and eliminate all the pertinent information with regard to activities and totally change a plan. Same is true with other unique drive systems because that is becoming more Another one is old, large format floppy disks. For courier transfer of data, they would be perfect. Nobody's got anything. It's to the point almost where the newer floppy disks, the last ones, the hard shell floppies, those are pretty well extinct from the machines even though there's tons of them out there. And every computer we have has one of those drives on it so we can use the older disk. But the newer older disk, not the CD but pre-CD, the regular computer disks. And that's another way. And by the way, you can do sound on those too. So there's all kinds of solutions, George. The big thing is whatever you commit to, start watching and eyeballing for all the other goodies that go with it. I seen something in the Goodwill. I don't know if you can use it because I know it was a very short thing, but I remember they had those up. They were the size of an LP. We had tons of those here. In fact, the computer facility here at the U of M used those extensively and not until the middle 90s, like late 90s, did they actually start discarding those. A lot of those are made by Sony or they were made by Zenith and they were very high end pieces of equipment. So again, that's an option. We are at the top guys. Let's see today is Thursday Well, it's taken over here. We got more programming coming up in just a minute In fact, I think we got BC. Do we not? I think it was just you had to confirm that well, I'll tell you what guys stay tuned We got more live broadcasting here coming up right behind us We got you Oh, that's right. Yes, this is the one replay week. I'm sorry about that guys. We get everybody excited They were getting ready for a live program. That's right This will be the replay week and then next week BC will be here on this next hour coming up But meanwhile, God bless the Republic That's the new world order. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. And we are on the mark, day and night. Hoorah! Set up those micro FM and AM stations now guys. You don't wait till the last minute. Once they're in place, you can just idle them and test them every once in a while. We'll be back 8 to 9 pm. Donna Mark, Evening Intel reports. Thanks for all of our callers.
